Hacker News Reader

I'm in South Africa and I'm able to use it. Not connected to a VPN, and I've just checked that my public IP is my static IP address.

They announced that it's now available in 180+ countries in English.

I'm in Canada (apparently like MegaDeKay) and unable to use it.

Either that 180+ country rollout isn't complete, or I guess they have something against Canada('s laws) in particular.

Edit: Amusingly using a VPS provided by google as a proxy is enough to get around this.

Typically, Canada, among other things, requires localization in French to satisfy the laws in Quebec.
